Introduction

Diablo, as you may guess by now, is a RPG game. You walk about in this game viewing from a 3rd person perspective (from the top). The game is completely random. Each time the game loads, you get different monsters, items and levels. It is never the same twice!!

The game uses mainly the mouse to move and attack. If you click on an enemy, you will attack once. If you click twice, you will attack twice and so on. But if you click on the ground, you will move there. The keyboard is also used but as hotkeys and faster ways of accessing things. This game does not wait for you, so speed is very important.

You start off by picking from one of the three characters (warrior, rogue, sorcerer). That will be your character for the duration of the game. You can save your character and continue building him/her thoughout different games. You may also change characters but you must start from scratch. You can't switch characters in the middle of the game. In single player games, you must save your character before quitting or you'll lose him/her. In multiplayer, the game saves it for you every time you get or lose an item or experience point.

The objective of this game, of course, is to kill the bad guys or whoever your enemy is. You are given spells, swords, bows and potions to accomplish this task. In single player, you may be given quests (which you don't really have to complete) in order to help the townspeople. You may also buy many items from the townspeople to aid in your journey. All this leads to the final fight against Diablo, the lord of terror.
